ion given a binary package, I feel that
a Lintian test risks prompting inexperienced maintainers to err on the
side of incaution and set an incorrect Architecture field. I appreciate
the zeal involved in cleaning up those packages which are any when they
should be all, but is a Lintian test for
the same?
I don't know about hol88-library, but grub builds with -m32 on amd64.
Nevertheless, it's still architecture-dependent; it builds different
binaries on Linux and the Hurd, and also the grub package should not be
in Packages for architectures to which it hasn't been ported.

If you need the non-free ssh in particular to be fixed for some reason
you'll probably have to track it down yourself, as there isn't much in
the way of maintenance happening on ssh2 (being orphaned and all). On
